To master the standard techniques of
elementary ordinary differential equations, Fourier series, and separation of
variables in partial differential equations.

Office Hours:Tuesdays &
Thursdays at 6:30 until class time, Wednesdays at 3:30, and Fridays at 2:30
(both lasting about one hour).Also, I'm willing to arrange other times to meet by appointment.

Grading: There will
be one midterms on the 26th of April and
one final at class time (5:30 p.m.) on Tuesday June 5th. There will
be daily homework assignments from the sections covered that day, due in one
week. In addition, there will be weekly quizzes on Thursdays. Your class grade
will calculated by adding together 40% of your final exam score, 30% of your
midterm score, with the remaining 30% coming from homework and quizzes with the
homework counting twice as much as the quizzes.

Book:We will be using the OSU edition of the
8th edition of William E. Boyce & Richard C. Diprima'sElementary Differential Equations.

Disability Services: Contact ODS, and then bring me the necessary paperwork and
documentation.

Calculator policy:
While we do not actually have a calculator policy in this course, I wanted to
warn those that have calculators that can integrate for you:If YOU can't fill in the details on
tests, a right answer by itself won't be full credit.
